5
Days/ 4 Nights Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda and
Uganda Safari
offers a life time experience to see the rare Mountain
Gorillas in the wild. This safari offers 2 Gorilla Trekking
opportunities, one in Parc Nationale des Volcanoes in
Rwanda and other in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National
Park in Uganda for 5 Days/ 4 Nights.

Arrive
in Uganda and head straight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
National Park where you will be highly inspired by the
sight of the giant mountain gorillas. Then cross to
Rwanda for more tracking at the Volcanoes National Park,
most popular park in Rwanda well known for Gorilla Tracking.

This
5 day safari starts in Uganda Entebbe and ends in Kigali-Rwanda
with 2 gorilla permits (for Parc Nationale des Volcanoes
and Bwindi in Uganda) included. The opportunity to see
some of the last remaining 840 mountain gorillas in
the world is a wonderful experience.

It
offers you an opportunity to track gorillas two times
and thus have a totally different experience with two
different gorilla families each in a very unique habitat.

Travel
by hired tour van from Kampala to the rolling hills
of south western Uganda with short visits at the Equator
crossing near Masaka, drive Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi
Impenetrable Forest past the grazing Ankole cows, view
the beautiful intensely terraced hill slopes of Kigezi,
and much of Uganda’s famed scenic landscape features.

Reaching the town of
Kisoro draws closer looks at the Virunga volcanic ranges
from northern Rwanda and Rwenzori mountains from the
Ugandan side. Bwindi Forest Park is found within the
forest valleys and is the best place of your Uganda
safari as well as Gorilla trekking adventures.

Set
off after an early breakfast prepared at your lodge
to the ranger station where you’ll be allocated
in groups of 8 persons and then begin your gorilla tracking
in Bwindi by mid morning.

2
of the 6 gorilla families living in Bwindi are Nkuringo
and Nshongi. Tracking for say one of these families
is often tiresome and could last more than 2 hours.
Pack you lunch just in case it takes you longer than
you estimated. Finding the gorilla within the forest
is exciting, the silver males often led their families
and the juvenile will be seen playing within the forest
canopy.

It only one have that is given to sit and interact with
the animals, take their pictures and observe their humanly
behavior. Along the trails are several other primates
like chimpanzees, colobus, baboons, mangabeys and many
other mammals.

For
the afternoon, take a nature walk to Munyaga river and
to Lake Mutanda found within the forest. Find the amazing
waterfalls coursing along unique flora diversity of
ferns, tossing butterflies, sounds of crickets, frogs
and everything you imagine in an un touched wild scenery!

Board
the tour van after a good breakfast at your lodge and
drive for a few hours to the Uganda-Rwanda border at
Kisoro, clear your travel Visit Rwanda and see the gorillas
documents with the border officials and cross to the
land of a thousand hills to Volcanoes National Park.
Rwanda is 1 hour behind Uganda.

Parc
Nationale de volcanoes is Rwanda’s prime safari
tourist destination set in huge, lush rainforest bamboo
giving the mountain gorilla a diverse forest habitat.
Rwanda tourism entirely focuses on conservation of the
mountain gorillas which are an endangered species, about
800 of these are found in Rwanda’s 8 Silverback
Gorilla families.

Begin gorilla tracking
in volcanoes national park after your breakfast with
a short drive to the ORTPN offices in the town Musanze
at the foot hills of the Virunga volcanic ranges. By
mid morning, be sure to have begun on the gorilla tracking
adventures under the lead of an expert ranger and tracker.

The tracking experience
often lasts several hours and you are advised to have
comfortable walking shoes and a packed lunch. After
2-7 hours of following last night’s trials, you’ll
pounce on a silver back headed group hidden within the
forest canopy. It is exciting to find these rare shy
creatures but you have to be calm. It takes only one
hour to interact and take their pictures before you
head back to your lodge.

In the evening, visit
Dian Fossey’s grave, Karisoke research centre,
Lake Kivu or drive to Gisenyi to visit Ross Carr Orphanage.
Retire to your lodge for overnight and dinner.
